Actually, this is something I really do like about LilyPond. I don't
play piano or guitar, and the quickest way I have to experiment with
chords progressions when composing is to dump them into LilyPond (both
in a chord symbols context and as notation) and begin experimenting
from there. ãthe fact that I can type in a progression and hear it ten
seconds later is pretty useful.

While I'm at it, does anyone know of any other Linux software that can
do this? Last time I looked Rosegarden would take a guess at what a
chord was and display the symbol, but I don't remember being able to
enter chord names directly.
